I'd Like To Wake Up And Look

I Don't Know What Acting Is, But I Enjoy It. I Think We Ask Too Many Questions Of Ourselves. We Make Too Much Importance Of Stuff. But I Do Say To Actors When I Have Taught In Classes, Or When I Sometimes Do A Talk To A Group. I'll Say, “if I Never Acted Again, The World Wouldn't Stop, Nor Would It Stop If I Didn't Stop Acting. That's How Important It Is. I Know It [seems] Important When You're Young. But I Say, “lighten Up. Don't Take It All So Seriously.” All The Gurus And Teachers Will Take Your Money And Run.

The Way To Make Better Decisions Is To Make More Of Them. Then Make Sure You Learn From Each One, Including Those That Don't Seem To Work Out In The Short Term: They Will Provide Valuable Distinctions To Make Better Evaluations And Therefore Decisions In The Future. Realize That Decision Making, Like Any Skill You Focus On Improving, Gets Better The More Often You Do It.

My Life Is Not My Own Business.

My Father Was Grounded, A Very Meat-and-potatoes Man. He Was A Baker.

I Worked At The Steel Company Of Wales When I Was 17. My Job Was To Supply Tools To The Guys Working The Blast Furnaces.
